It isn't pretty but: dd if=/dev/wd1a skip=8244 bs=1 count=4 | hexdump -C 4+0 records in 4+0 records out 4 bytes transferred in 0.001 secs (3263 bytes/sec) 00000000 41 00 00 00 |A...| 00000004
wd1a is the cooked RAID partition. In this case this is an AOE target. If it was crypto it would have been 4c 00 00 00 |C...| Currently the possible values are: 0x00 (RAID 0), 0x01 (RAID 1), 0x41 (AOE target), 0x4c (CRYPTO) & 0x61 (AOE initiator). Note that softraid is not endian neutral so on big endian machines the numbers are flipped. FWIW, /marco On Fri, Dec 12, 2008 at 01:33:14PM +0100, Michael wrote: > Todd T.
